Best Finesse Conduits for Affliction Warlock

Should read Best Endurance......

[Guest Nightdarling]

You need to seriously update the talents. For instance Shadowbolt is a demonology not affliction skill. There are other errors as well. Hard to count on this guild being worth reading when it is supposed to be updated for the recent patch and yet it has old outdated information.

Shadowbolt is a baseline spell which only gets replaced by incinerate at level 10 if you spec into Destruction. Not sure what are you referring to tbh, and if you think there might be errors feel free to point them out.

Confused why the Shadow Embrace talent is still listed as the darkglare talent

[Guest Shadow Embrace]

When reading the rotation guide, it is a bit confusing when it says to keep Shadow Embrace up on a target when it is now a talent and not a specialize ability.

It seems it should be added as an option in section 1.3 Select Your Talents and Essences, I assume the rotation may change a bit since we won’t be applying to by default. We would only be using it if we chose that talent instead of Haunt.

rotation page should update by the end of today

Bit confused on the souldbinds page It says raiding Niya, but then next to it is the Dreamweaver raiding tree not the Niya raiding tree. So which is better Niya or dreamweaver?

Single taget damage. Really?

It does not appear that the tier 7 level 50 Talent graphic matches the description for what is preferred vs what is a no go. There is an x on Soul conduit, while a question mark is on the Creeping Death image.

My fault for not flipping the 2, update will go live asap. For what is worth Creeping Death does not offer anything that is not already covered by Dark Soul Misery. In the event of AoE or whenever 2 minutes burst isnt relevant then Soul Conduit is the preferable choice

This guide is updated for 9.2?
Icyveins has always been very useful to me, but now I find contradictions in the guide comparing it with other pages, for example Method, and I have many doubts

Guide is up to date for 9.2 ofc, what are the contradictions you found?

I'm curious as to why the guide doesn't suggest eating Fated Fortune Cookie from Dragon Isles Cooking when the feast is not available, even though the cookie provides the same stat as the feast? As it is written now, the guide recommends eating from Grand Banquet of the Kalu'ak but says if that's not available to eat Mastery food.

Hi, I'm playing MoP Remix and while your guide suggest Malefic Rapture at level 11, I have Chaos Bolt when I open the ability tree.  I'm not sure if this is a remix change or not, but just wanted to mention it for your MoP remix Aff Warlock. 😛

You might be spec'd into Destruction, not Aff?

Next time please do not be such in a hurry to change the BIS list three days prior to the raids/mythics. People still grinding heroics and such table was invaluable. Thank you and awesome work.

[Guest Guest warlock]

since the last update due to The War Within extension, I am trying to find a good rotation to work for me, for single target (questing) +dungeons. I am trying to use the one you suggested but I cannot find the Shaddow bolt in my spells, so how do you make a rotation for the affliction warlock w. the shadow bolt, if its not in the spell book?

[Guest Guest]

I like the updates to choosing talents and specs on this page. But, currently it does not actually show rotations.

[Guest Dalkhu]

First comment still says this is for the Shadowlands guide. The War Within guide linked me here so unless there was another thread that I missed this should be updated.

Also in the Nerub'ar Palace guide, under Bloodbound Horror, it says to use Deathcoil for Crimson Rain. Deathcoil is a Deathknight ability.

Hello, thanks for the guides. Was just curious if there was a Hellcaller ST build for Aff, or if it was just underwhelming compared to Soul Harvester?

Currently Hellcaller single target is substantially undertuned, especially in the case of Affliction where Soul Harvester offer so much more single target talents
